Angel's Auto Repair

My son in law borrowed my F350 to take my daughter to ojt in Winslow. For whatever reason the truck would not start, I'll leave my opinion as to why out of the comment. The motel owner directed them to a tow company, who towed the truck to Angels Auto Repair. The tow company and the shop are a father and son team. Angel said he didn't know what the problem was. Supposedly charged the truck, changed the oil and fuel filter, but was unable to get the truck started. After speaking to him on the phone he thought it may be in the fuel injection system, but wasn't sure. After telling me that we would be looking at $1000 or more to possibly fix it I happily declined. I live almost 300 miles away from where the truck was, and was unable to go up there to pick it up. I told my son in law that it sounded like the shop was trying to make a quick buck and that we needed to get the truck back home to look at it. After paying almost $350 to the shop, his son happily towed the truck home for another $600. I put the truck on a charger and started it up within 15 minutes. This is a prison town, and obviously the shop tried to take advantage of that fact. I find it disgusting that a shop would attempt to charge two young adults for repair that wasn't necessary. After calling the shop after I got the truck started, I got the story of how the truck just wouldn't start. I don't know what they did to it, but it smells awful fishy that between the motel, tow company, and shop my daughter and her husband were charged almost $1000 for nothing. I would not recommend this shop nor Tri-R Towing for any services in Winslow. Don't know if or how the motel is affiliated with the other 2, but the father and son have a good racket going in a small town.
